When you’d rather be laying on the beach catching some rays than be literally anywhere else, chances are bronzer is your BFF. It’s your go-to when you’re creating a light glam or a full face beat. It warms up your skin and makes you look more fresh and awake. These mini bronzers are great for applying that glow on-the-go. Or, you might just want to try out a new shade or formula before you throw down the money for the full thing.
These powders will add a touch of bronze to any complexion but you don’t just have to use them as bronzer. Apply a little shimmer bronzer to the tops of your cheekbones for a pop of highlight. You can also use a matte bronzer as a contour to sculpt your cheeks and jaw. Grab a fluffy powder brush for allover color or a contour brush for precision. Add a little blush on top and it’ll be like you sat outside in the tropics no matter where it is you actually live.
Shop some natural-looking bronzers below in adorable minis that are small enough to fit in your purse but big enough to use all year-round.
